that just looks like batman being excited. in the recent movie it was an automatic grappeling hook that pulled him up at the touch of a button. I think we're a bit out of date and some new equipment required for the next generation of batman moves!!!

He is out of touch, as he need not have looked further than this Thread ... or did you mean the letter to rockfall (Rock Magazine No 63) from Michael Fox, Launceston, Tas. re adding a bolt-on hold to a natural climb, right there next to Robbo's letter ?

I have done a lot of bolting, which is an entirely separate discussion to that of chipping.

I don't chip because I consider myself to be a good climber who climbs at a certain grade relative to the amount of training I've done.

People who chip are too lost in their own ego and obviously too soft, weak willed, pissweak and crap to do some serious training to enable them to climb said route.

If you're too weak willed to train seriously for a project, then accept the fact that the route is beyond your ability and walk away and do something that you're capable of and leave the 'projects' to the likes of Zac and Garth, Yuji and the Hubers...face it we're all crap compared to them and nothing you can do to the rock will change that fact.

Please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
Just don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway...

Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
To a cheap hotel when I can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet
It's sweet like nothing no
It's just like nothing at all...

Now I've taken far too much to see
Or think or touch what's real
I'm stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home...

that was fasinating, how his drawings became so erratic as the drug took hold. just like the progessive paintings of patients sufforing schitzophrenea, their paintings over time become more and more wild and crazy.
dunno what this has to with manufacturing though!!!
